PAID ELECTION LETTER-3

Editor, the Tribune: As a resident of the 25th District and 15-year employee of Columbia Public Schools, I will vote for Sean Spence, a progressive Democrat for state representative. Those of you who know me are not surprised by this endorsement as I am also Sean's fiancée!

As an educator, I want to emphasize Sean's strong commitment to public education. Sean's advocacy for public education extends beyond pre-K through 12th grades. A second-generation Mizzou graduate, Sean also understands the essential role that our university, area colleges and Columbia Area Career Center play in preparing our young people for the future.

As a former PTA president, room parent, band booster, etc., I have served many years as a CPS parent and employee. It is important to me that Sean has such a strong commitment to the success of our young people and our school system.

Please remember Sean Spence on Aug. 5.

Leigh Leyshock, 1106 B. E. Broadway
